This is a real classic handicraft knife that has been part of the Swedish handicraft tradition for over a century. It is also easy to sharpen, which means that you can experience it over and over again.
With a barrel-shaped red-stained birch handle and a 2.5 mm thick carbon steel blade, no task is impossible. The polymer sheath has a polished finish and is clad with the Dalecarlian coat of arms. Complemented by a belt loop of Swedish vegetable-tanned leather, it is designed to withstand the test of time for generations to come. Carbon steel rusts, so wipe and oil the blade after use. These characteristic craft knives with red-stained birch handles were first introduced about a hundred years ago with the ambition of imitating an exclusive mahogany-handled knife. Since then, the Morakniv Classic has grown to become one of the most beloved lifestyle knives in the world. A timeless Morakniv knife in its purest form. Generations of craftsmen and artisans throughout history have used, personalised and refined the knives to meet their own needs, making the Morakniv Classic a part of unforgettable memories and an invaluable part of the future.

This design has been repeated in several sizes by several Mora knife makers for well over a century. It epitomises “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” A timeless, truly classic Scandinavian design. I own several dozen and it is my most often gifted Mora knife that is always welcomed and appreciated.

If I could only own 1 knife for all things indoors and out, this would be it. I purchased 2 of these perhaps 25 years ago at the ridiculously low price of $9. They are super strong and take on an unsurpassed edge with nothing more than a few strokes on a ceramic rod. I use it to clean fish and game, make wood shavings for a fire. carve a pumpkin, split a tough gourd for cooking, maintaining lines on my sailboat and other uses too numerous to mention. It is due to this knife that I have also acquired several MORA kitchen and carving knives and intend to buy more. Maybe I’m partial to my genetics, but I think Swedish steel, and therefore Swedish cutlery is the best in the world. I just wish there was more availability in the US without being overpriced.

Detta är en riktig klassiker. Stryktålig och bekväm att använda. Jag fylls av vördnad varje gång jag tar upp min morakniv med sitt faluröda skaft. Så skönt att denna ikon fortfarande finns att tIllgå.
